So I may of been a bit of an idiot! Wasnt aware there was a procedure to replace the battery, so having replaced as if it were a normal car, it will no longer start! Is this something major or do I just need to find someone with the diagnostic tool to tell the car the battery has been changed? And help greatly appreciated as at present I have a heavy front garden ornament

Before Stan chips in...can you fill your profile out please, what Fattie do you have?

As already said tell us what car etc.

Mines a 2011 4.4 tdv8 and when I replaced the battery I did so like any other normal car and no issues.

Just check your not being silly and not pressing the brake pedal hard enough or something. Don’t ask how I know lol. Regards
